Stand on the pier where Italy first claimed the city in 1918. Find the square where Mussolini announced the racial laws. Trace three fountains by a single sculptor. Hear how a Hungarian veteran invented modern espresso here. The app works offline. Pause for a coffee, photos, or just to sit in a piazza. There is no fixed start time and no group to keep up with. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and this Trieste audio tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
